LIVE CRICKET SCORE: IND A 136/6 in 34 Overs | BATTING: Amit Mishra 2(2), Parvez Rasool 53(79): A six and a four and a wicket.

LIVE CRICKET SCORE: IND A 50/5 in 22 Overs | BATTING: Ambati Rayudu 19(50), Parvez Rasool 9(26): Rasool and Rayudu going strong and steady. They know that they have overs left and wickets are something they need to protect. The first few wickets fell quite quickly and now they need good runs.

LIVE CRICKET SCORE: IND A 34/5 in 17 Overs | BATTING: Ambati Rayudu 13(35), Parvez Rasool 0(11):Rasool and Rayudu doing the correct thing now. The top order batsmen needed to take their time to settle down at the crease like these two but instead they went on losing wickets. They have many overs left and if they manage to build up a good partnership from here, they can still win it.
